"i wish i were..."

                          
"w-when? when are you guys moving?" mike asked.
                          
"next month before school starts again." will exhaled and mike got chills.
                          
"right when we finally get together, something gets in the way." mike whispered.
                          
"i'm sorry." will apologized.
                          
"no," mike grabbed his hand. "it's not your fault, will. you know what? we can spend every single day together until you go."
                          
"us and the party." will added.
                          
"yeah. speaking of, we should probably tell lucas about...everything." mike said.
                          
"he doesn't know anything?" will raised his eyebrows.
                          
"no, literally nothing." mike shook his head.
                          
will let out a small laugh. "poor lucas."
                          
mike smiled and kissed his boyfriend on the cheek.
                          
the next day, the party decided to hang out in mike's basement.
                          
"hey, el." mike greeted as she walked down the steps of the basement.
                          
will was already there, sitting on the couch.
                          
"hi, el." will smiled.
                          
"hello." she looked at both of them. "you guys are together now, aren't you?" 
                          
both boys blushed.
                          
"i think that you two make a great couple." el sat down.
                          
"thanks." mike said.
                          
"yeah, thanks. and hey, since we're going to be moving in together soon, maybe we should, you know....talk more." will shrugged.
                          
"yes, i would like that very much." el smiled.
                          
max, dustin, and lucas came down the basement stairs just then, altogether.
                          
"hey guys." mike waved.
                          
"what's up?" dustin hopped down the step with max and lucas behind him.
                          
"so, can i finally know what the hell happened?" lucas asked and they all laughed.
                          
"yeah, sit, we'll tell you." max nodded.
                          
they all explained to lucas what had happened between will and mike and how they're dating now.
                          
"so both of you are gay?" lucas asked.
                          
"no, will is gay, but i...i'm into boys and girls. i heard that the term for it is...bisexual so i guess i'm that." mike tried to explain as best as possible.
                          
will grabbed his boyfriend's hand in support.
                          
"oh, cool. see will, i told you that you won't think love is gross once you got in a relationship." lucas smirked.
                          
"no, you said when i get a girlfriend, which isn't something i'm ever going to do." will sassed.
                          
"okay, okay, fine, but still, isn't it nice to be in love?" 
                          
"yeah, it is." will smiled and mike blushed.
                          
they had spent the next few weeks before will and el had moved hanging out. it was mostly will and mike together, but the party did get together.
                          
they spent will and el's last night in hawkins altogether at will's house, planning to help them start moving in the morning.
                          
will and mike were the last two awake and they lied there cuddling. 
                          
"i cant believe it's actually your last night here." mike whispered.
                          
"me either. it feels like almost yesterday that we had just gotten together." will replied.
                          
"and now we're barely going to be able to see each other." mike sighed.
                          
"it's okay, mike, we have tonight and that's all that matters to me right now." will put his head against mike's.
                          
"i really don't deserve you." mike muttered.
                          
"that's a lie. you deserve all of the love in the world." will intertwined their fingers.
                          
"i love you." 
                          
"i love you, too."
                          
both boys then sat there in silence, holding each other with their heads against each other and their fingers intertwined.
